Transpulmonary Driving Pressure and Intra-abdominal Pressure Relationship During Laparoscopic Surgery

December 14, 2019 updated by: Oscar Diaz-Cambronero, Hospital Universitario La Fe

Assessment of Transpulmonary Driving Pressure and Intra-abdominal Pressure Relationship at Different Levels of Positive End-expiratory Pressure (PEEP) During Laparoscopic Surgery

Objective: The aim of this project is to evaluate how intra-abdominal pressure paired coupled with different ventilatory positive end-expiratory pressure levels affects the transpulmonary driving pressure during pneumoperiteneum insufflation for laparoscopic surgery.

Methodology: Patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery will be included. The study will investigate the relationship between intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) and transpulmonary driving pressure (TpDp) and the effect of titration of PEEP on their relationship.

At three different levels of intra-abdominal pressure, the respiratory driving pressure (RDp) and TpDp in each subject will be measured in each subject. The same subject will undergo two different ventilation strategies. Demographic data (height, weight, body mass index and sex), ASA physical status (surgical risk classification of the American Society of Anesthesiology), number of previous abdominal surgeries, number of previous pregnancies, and respiratory comorbidities will be collected. Respiratory pressures and mechanics will be recorded at each level of intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) during each ventilatory strategy. The variables recorded will include: airway pressures (Plateau pressure Pplat, Peak pressure, Ppeak), the final esophageal pressure of inspiration and expiration and pulmonary stress index. Mixed linear regression will be used to evaluate the relationship between different PEEP levels, IAP and TpDp by adjusting for known confounders and adding individuals as a random factor. Likewise, an analysis using a mixed linear regression model with the pulmonary stress index as a function of the intra-abdominal pressure, the ventilation regime, and a specific random intercept term for each subject will be performed.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Standard PEEP ventilation
During pneumoeperitoneum insufflation the patient is ventilated with 7 ml/kg per ideal body weight, inspiration:expiration (I:E) ratio 1:2, and respiration rate (RR) to maintain EtCO2 at 35-38 mmHg and 5 cmH20 of PEEP at every intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) step (8, 12 and 15 mmHg).
During mechanical ventilation a fixed PEEP (5 mcH2O) is set at all IAP levels during pneumoperitoneum insufflation
During mechanical ventilation PEEP is matched to IAP level
Experimental: Matched PEEP Ventilation

During pneumoeperitoneum insufflation the patient is ventilated with 7 ml/kg per ideal body weight, inspiration:expiration (I:E) ratio 1:2, and respiration rate (RR) to maintain EtCO2 at 35-38 mmHg and a level of PEEP matched to every IAP step (8, 12 and 15 mmHg).

1 mmHg = 1,36 cmH20.

Between the standard and matched PEEP intervention there is a washout period that with a recruitment maneuver to re-establish baseline lung condition.

During mechanical ventilation a fixed PEEP (5 mcH2O) is set at all IAP levels during pneumoperitoneum insufflation
During mechanical ventilation PEEP is matched to IAP level

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Transpulmonary driving pressure (TpDp) difference between standard and matched PEEP ventilation
Time Frame: Pneumoperitoneum insufflation before surgery (up to 30 minutes)
TpDp (assessed in centimeters of water, cmH20) as assessed by ventilatory pressure and pleural pressure (recorded by an esophageal probe) is recorded at every intra-abdominal pressure level during pneumoperitoneum insufflation. The primary outcome is the difference between a standard perioperative management (fixed PEEP + 15 mmHg pneumoperitoneum pressure) and matched PEEP to intra-abdominal pressure and 8mmHg intra-abdominal pressure
Pneumoperitoneum insufflation before surgery (up to 30 minutes)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Transpulmonary driving pressure and intra-abdmominal pressure relationship (multivariate adaptive linear regression)
Time Frame: Pneumoperitoneum insufflation before surgery (up to 30 minutes)
TpDp (in cmH20) is recorded at different levels of IAP and with two different PEEP settings (in cmH20; two levels are: fixed at each IAP level, standard group and matched at each IAP level, matched group). The relationship between TpDp and IAP (both treated as continuous variables) at each PEEP level is plotted and a multiadaptive linear regression is fitted.
Pneumoperitoneum insufflation before surgery (up to 30 minutes)
Transpulmonary driving pressure and respiratory driving pressure (RDp) relationship (multivariate adaptive linear regression).
Time Frame: Pneumoperitoneum insufflation before surgery (up to 30 minutes)
Respiratory driving pressure (transpulmonary driving pressure + pressure to move the chest wall, in cmH20, RpDp) and TpDp relationship at each IAP and PEEP level will be assessed. The relationship between TpDp and RpDp (both treated as continuous variables) at each PEEP level is plotted and a multiadaptive linear regression is fitted.
Pneumoperitoneum insufflation before surgery (up to 30 minutes)
Respiratory system compliance (Crs) difference between standard and matched PEEP levels
Time Frame: Pneumoperitoneum insufflation before surgery (up to 30 minutes)
Respiratory system compliance measures the system's ability to stretch. It has two components Lung and Chest Wall (measured in milliliter/centimeters of water, ml/cmH20)
Pneumoperitoneum insufflation before surgery (up to 30 minutes)
Pulmonary compliance (Cp) difference
Time Frame: Pneumoperitoneum insufflation before surgery (up to 30 minutes)
Respiratory system compliance measures the system's ability to stretch (ml/cmH20). It has two components Lung and Chest Wall (measured in milliliter/centimeters of water, ml/cmH20). By using an esophageal probe measurement the two can be partitioned and analyzed separately.
Pneumoperitoneum insufflation before surgery (up to 30 minutes)
Chest wall compliance (CCw) difference

Respiratory system compliance measures the system's ability to stretch (ml/cmH20). It has two components Lung and Chest Wall (measured in milliliter/centimeters of water, ml/cmH20). By using an esophageal probe measurement the two can be partitioned and analyzed separately.

Pulmonary Stress index difference
Time Frame: Pneumoperitoneum insufflation before surgery (up to 30 minutes)
